About TLJax

TLJax has 2 years experience and specializes in ED.


I retired from my first career in 2014 and returned to school, looking forward to becoming a missionary nurse. I completed my ADN and began working as an RN in an Med/Surg ICU, but found that I needed some Med/Surg experience. I transferred to a M/S-Tele Unit where I worked for a year, then transferred to the E.D.

I still hope to be a missionary nurse with some disaster response preparation.
